For which of the following media will the wave propagation occur without experiencing attenuation?

In an electromagnetic wave,the amplitude of the electric field is $1 \ V/m$ and the frequency of the wave is $5 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$. The wave propagates in the positive $Z$-direction. The average energy density of the electric field in this wave is ........ $J \ m^{-3}$.

What is the cause of the greenhouse effect?

The magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave is given by $\vec B = B_0 \hat i \cos(kz - \omega t) + B_1 \hat j \cos(kz - \omega t)$,where $B_0 = 3 \times 10^{-5} \, T$ and $B_1 = 2 \times 10^{-6} \, T$. The rms value of the force experienced by a stationary charge $Q = 10^{-4} \, C$ at $z = 0$ is closest to:
